Now that I look at what I have. I have a class that sores the repeater in an array so I don’t need to get it every time. Here is a very simple example:

<?php 
  
  new your_class_name();
  
  class your_class_name {
    
    private $cta_choices = array();
    
    public function __construct() {
      add_filter('acf/prepare_field/name=your_field_name', array($this, 'choices'));
    }
    
    public function choices($field) {
      
      if (!empty($this->cta_choices)) {
        $field['choices'] = $this->cta_choices;
        return $field;
      }
      
      
      if (have_rows('cta_repeater', 'options')) {
        $choices = array();
        while (have_rows('cta_repeater', 'options')) {
          the_row();
          $class = get_sub_field('id_field_name'); // this is my unique ID field
          $text = get_sub_field('title_field_name');
          $choices[$class] = $text;
        } // end while have rows
        $field['choices'] = $choices;
      }
      
      $this->cta_choices = $field['choices'];
      
      return $field;
      
    }
    
  }
